F430 or 997 GT3?
Anyone here have experience with the f430? 6mt appears to be rare and would be the only choice for me.
Prices have come down significantly over the last couple years. You can find a nice one for $120k easy.
How does an f430 compare to a 997.2 gt3 from an overall driving perspective for weekend street use? I would assume on the track the gt3 is superior.
Obviously maintenance and repairs are probably a lot higher, but for a car driven only 2k year might not be an issue.

I was debating between these two as well as the prices are so close. The manual would be the only way to go but I could not find any for sale that were manual. Did one pop up?

But even besides the transmission I wasn't too impressed. On back roads, compared to my 7.2 GT3, it felt big and wide and soft. It didn't feel faster either. The interior felt kind of felt old too. The V8 note is sweeter though.
But the worst part was the attention a (red) Ferrrari gets. You might or might not be okay with it, I definitely wasn't.
I still love Scuds. F430s? no.

If you can find a legit F430 6 speed manual for $120k, please let me know..I'll buy a second one. I bought one (not listed anywhere online) six months ago and I've been told by serious enthusiasts that the three pedal cars are ultra rare and prices have been heading north.
I also have a .2GT3. GT3 is more raw. F430 has a certain feel, especially at high speed, that can't be duplicated. Both are excellent cars. Can't go wrong either way. Buy the best example you can find.
Good luck with the search

6 speed 430s have gone up a lot lately. Several threads on Fchat chat about it
Personally I think the value of a 430 manual will go much higher in future years.

as others have said, you will not find a decent 3 pedal 430 for 120K.
i just bought a 360.
a friend asked how it compares to .1 GT3.
I told him GT3 is probably "better" in every way
i just wanted to try something else.
